The goal when providing restorative dental work is to return a tooth to good health while preserving as much of its healthy structure as possible. The size of your cavity will affect the decision to use a dental filling or dental crown. A filling is the more conservative option, as your restoration will only cover the area where decay formed. When necessary, we can provide larger covering with a custom crown. In both cases, we can use materials that match the look of your enamel so that your smile is not changed by your procedure.
Root canal therapy addresses problems that develop within your pulp – the tooth’s central chamber – caused by advanced decay. Removing damaged and infected tissues will stop ongoing discomfort and prevent the further spread of harmful bacteria. Once this work is done, we can take care of your tooth by fitting it with a custom crown.
While our goal is to provide preventive care that helps patients stay cavity-free, we can offer treatment when it is needed to restore a tooth’s health and appearance. To find out more about how we can support you, please call Elm Creek Dental in Maple Grove, MN, today at 763-416-0606.
